# Known issues
|
|
This is an incomplete list of known issues with the ntfy server, Android app, and iOS app. You can find a complete
|
|
list [on GitHub](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/labels/%F0%9F%AA%B2%20bug), but I thought it may be helpful
|
|
to have the prominent ones here to link to.
|
|
|
|
## iOS app not refreshing (see [#267](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/267))
|
|
For some (many?) users, the iOS app is not refreshing the view when new notifications come in. Until you manually
|
|
swipe down, you do not see the newly arrived messages, even though the popup appeared before.
|
|
|
|
This is caused by some weirdness between the Notification Service Extension (NSE), SwiftUI and Core Data. I am entirely
|
|
clueless on how to fix it, sadly, as it is ephemeral and not clear to me what is causing it.
|
|
|
|
Please send experienced iOS developers my way to help me figure this out.
|
|
|
|
## iOS app not receiving notifications (anymore)
|
|
If notifications do not show up at all anymore, there are a few causes for it (that I know of):
|
|
|
|
**Firebase+APNS are being weird and buggy**:
|
|
If this is the case, usually it helps to **remove the topic/subscription and re-add it**. That will force Firebase to
|
|
re-subscribe to the Firebase topic.
|
|
|
|
**Self-hosted only: No `upstream-base-url` set, or `base-url` mismatch**:
|
|
To make self-hosted servers work with the iOS
|
|
app, I had to do some horrible things (see [iOS instant notifications](config.md#ios-instant-notifications) for details).
|
|
Be sure that in your selfhosted server:
|
|
|
|
* Set `upstream-base-url: "https://ntfy.sh"` (**not your own hostname!**)
|
|
* Ensure that the URL you set in `base-url` **matches exactly** what you set the Default Server in iOS to
|
|

## Firefox on Android not automatically subscribing to web push
|
|
ntfy defaults to web-push based subscriptions when installed as a [progressive web app](./subscribe/pwa.md). Firefox
|
|
Android has an [open bug](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1796434) where it reports the PWA mode incorrectly.
|
|
This causes ntfy to not automatically subscribe to web push, and requires you to go to the ntfy Settings page to enable
|
|
it manually.
|
|
|
|
## Safari does not play sounds for web push notifications
|
|
Safari does not support playing sounds for web push notifications, and treats them all as silent. This will be fixed with
|
|
iOS 17 / Safari 17, which will be released later in 2023.
